<p>Drew or Temple???</p>
<p>They are so different! One is a small LAC in a middleclass area, one a big university that is very urban. What do you lean toward? I think Drew would give you more attention but I don’t know what you are hoping to accomplish in college.</p>
<p>The thing is, is that I like both for very different reasons because they are so different, which is why I’m having trouble choosing. I would like attention but I want a comfortable environment, strong academics, good connections, good study abroad. I’m looking to major in polisci, and maybe study some communications, theater, and languages.</p>
<p>Hi saswy!</p>
<p>Seriously, you can’t go wrong with either of these schools. Both have been around for over a century and both are well respected. If you’ve been following the threads here, you know that Drew has a strong poli sci dept, great speakers series (which recently has had the likes of Madeleine Albright, Elie Wiesel, Tom Friedman, Maureen Dowd, etc). It also has a strong theater program; and good opportunities for study abroad and semesters at the UN, on Wall St, and in DC. But I suspect that Temple has these types of opportunities too. Assuming money/financial aid isn’t a factor, as Debruns said it really comes down to the type of environment you want to spend the next four years in. Temple is a large research institution in an urban area; Drew is a small LAC in a suburban area. They are as different as night and day! So stop obsessing and pick one! I don’t mean to be flip; I know this is a tough decision. But it’s time. You will sleep better once you sign on the dotted line. Again, you can’t go wrong with either choice.</p>
<p>haha thnaks…I finally made my choice today–I needed to sendc my deposit in. I chose Drew.</p>
<p>Congrats Saswy, I hope you have a great 4 years! They have great programs in your major and you will have small classes and great opportunities.</p>
<p>Why did you pick Drew?</p>
